Is cheating any less immersive than pulling out your credit card to get the true ending though? Because I'm going to cheat every time, personally.

No, but it seems silly that TC is against viewing a static, non-interactive ending on Youtube, but would cheatengine his way to view it. Either way, it's a non-interactive cutscene so there's really no difference between loading it instantly in-game and fullscreening Youtube.

Is using your credit card any less cheating than using a "trainer?" :-D

There's a degree of validation, subconscious at least, in cheating your way through the game to watch a given video that isn't present when just loading it up on YouTube. Doesn't make it any less, or more, silly than a lot of other things that people do or feel, but it is one of the more reasonable.

On a side note, why are these programs or scripts for CheatEngine called "trainers" when they rarely do anything to make the game more difficult or the player tougher?

Logic is the antithesis of faith, else why is it that faith defies logic while logic denies faith?

By the time I made it to the point of almost getting the second ending, I had so many legendary orcs and most of the legendary gear without ever spending money on lootboxes. I stopped playing because it got repetitive and i wasn't having fun anymore.

Using cheatengine to simulate lootboxes when you finally reach a point that's too hard to clear without microtransactions, and then playing through that content with more-potent-but-not-insanely-OP orcs, however...that's the ticket, laddie. Much better than buying cheats and supporting the most toxic business model in all of gaming.

No, but I refuse to buy microtransactions in F2P games already, let alone in a $60 AAA title so if I'm locked out of a feature of a game because something you need is hidden in an RNG lootbox then the only way I'd get to 'earn' the true ending would be by cheating. I don't know if that's actually the case in this game since I have zero interest in it (less than zero, actually, since it's a AAA title with microtransactions) but if it is then I wouldn't hesitate to cheat for that purpose for a second.

This I can agree with. Immersion wouldn't be my personal argument but if watching somebody else get the ending on youtube was as satisfying as getting it myself I'd never buy another game.
